Review
An exceptional writer --
Michael Blake, Dances With Wolves First-rate fiction that is interwoven with sharp insights about our times and culture. It is rich in illumination of many other important issues we all should be pondering. You can t put it down while reading it, and can t forget it after you ve finished it. --Dan Rather
A
beautifully-written and powerful look at humanity and the reverence of life as seen through the lives of a social activist who never lost hope, and the reporter who covered her story. -- Heidi Prescott, senior vice-president, Humane Society of the United States --pre-publication review
For too long much of society lived as second class citizens. Before the First Snow: Stories from the Revolution is a compilation of stories that was born out of the 1960s and the revolutions that called for equality among race, gender, and sexuality, staring down the United States government entering a war viewed as utterly pointless and without value. A time of social turbulence, Before the First Snow is an intriguing piece of history from the personal stories that put it all together.
--Midwest Book Review
Before the First Snow is provocative and edgy, sparing no institution, including the media, but it is also first-rate entertainment and a literary masterpiece that magnificently captures a three-decade period in American history, and asks the readers to reflect upon their own lives and values. -
